I will make this short and sweet...Weebly is having tech issues and it keeps erasing my photos so they are not in order. I got this fabulous box with my new track phone! I could care less about the phone but the box was great even had a little velcro closing! I painted the whole thing with black spray paint and made the front look really traditional Christmas with glitter glue embellishment, fabric bow I made ages ago, my homemade enamel dots, and nice sentiment from a rubber stamp I have had so long it has no details on it about manufacturer. Then when you open it it's like the hand jumping out at you...it's Creepmas! I took this great Smeared Ink image and used distress markers and inks to color. I took some plastic from a package and made the "glass" for the frame (the only thing my lovely box was missing) and fussy cut the image and put a lovely paper from the DCWV The Once Upon a Time stack and taped under the plastic and popped in the box from the bottom. The web and spider are from my Cricut as well as the ornament shape and number 25 and letters "th" that are glued onto it. Sorry for pics nothing is cooperating and I am trying to get this at least typed before Weebly gives out! The back of the front flap again traditional paper a little darker and the edges in Christmas stripes paper (all from the Paper Studio "Ornamental Christmas" stack. The word "wicked" is from my Cricut with a shadow from the same paper behind the image and the little skelly ornament is from Smeared Ink colored with distress inks and glued to cereal box and I left the tag to show in the little indention at the corner as a sort of fake pull tab. I intend to use this box for a gift box...just have to figure out who to give it to that will not have a fit when they open the flap:) Again, apologies for the sloppy looking post but I fear if I don't post this NOW it will not get posted in time. It has already prompted about a possible shut down. The rest of the crew are listed to the right so go see something fab and show them all some love!

Happy Crafting and Merry Creepmas!

I was thinking the same things as I (shamefully) shopped a bit this weekend. The box is as valuable as what is inside!
Between recycled and homemade pieces you have made a treasure for this first project.

My precious grandpuppy, Yoshi! He went through gastrointestinal surgery for an obstruction in August and almost didn't make it. It is now November and he is doing so well just can't eat hard food:( But I love mushing his food twice a day and feeding my beautiful baby boy:)
